WALKING FOR A CAUSE

Oxfam Trailwalker 2004 had a special meaning to our charity in that, our own Larra Chung, together with 3 wonderful companions, Cary, Mei Ha and Siu Yuk formed an all ladies team of four to take on that challenge.

The event, which took place on 5-7 November 2004 with over 3900 participants, our Camp Quality team, which was team no. 458, was allocated a start time of 11.00am. The starting ceremony was officiated by Phoenix Satellite presenter Ms Tanya liu, herself seriously injured in a train accident in England in 2002 and almost pronounced brain-dead, she was truly an inspiration to the Camp Quality team and us all.

Our Camp Quality team had to plan and train for the event months in advance. They all had to achieve a reasonable level of fitness with adequate training in order to cover the hilly 100km Maclehose Trail, parts of which are quite hilly, even rugged, with difficult terrain and without tree cover for hours at a time. The team had to be familiar with the route by walking it on practice walks with their teammates in similar speed. Our own Larra Chung skip possibly every lunch hour to go for vigorous training for the past 3 months with the lead up to the event.

9TH STRIDE FOR A CURE - 14th November 2004

Last Weekend, Camp Quality also supported the Hong Kong Cancer Fund's 9th Annual Stride for a Cure charity walk at the Tai Tam Country Park.

The event, which supports the Hong Kong Cancer Fund to raise funds for cancer research. Camp Quality was out in force to support this meaningful event and as well as to enjoy a relaxing and fun-filled outing, not to mention an opportunity for some light exercise!

The Camp Quality team chooses the 5km route, which winds through the beautiful Tai Tam Country Park. A delicious brunch was also served once we all finished the work and there were live performances to entertain us all afterwards.
